No one makes me feel as special as Nintendo . Turns out that Club Nintendo wants to show some love to their Platinum members by giving them a 'sneak peek' of the new DSi before it is released in weeks.

I was surprised to see an e-mail from Club Nintendo giving me the low down on this event and I quickly RSVP'ed. I took a second look at the invitation and realized that this 'special' event is being held in Virginia. Usually Virginia isn't a problem for me since I live in Maryland and Northern VA is basically part of the Metropolitian area. The location of this event is inside a Gamestop in Southern Virginia, which is basically 2 hours away from where I live. Does it sound crazy that I still want to go?

My husband, son and I are setting out on Sunday afternoon to take a mini road trip to go see the DSi. The invitation says that I'm only allowed one guest, but hopefully I can sneak my son in there. I don't know what to expect from this but I can say that I am excited. I plan on taking my camera to take some pictures of all of this but I'm not sure if thats going to work. Apparently I'm supposed to bring a DS game to test out on the DSi, any suggestions?

I just wanted to give you all an update on my platinum status. Most of you probably thought that the title was referring to Pokemon Platinum....got ya!!!
